This elevated product offering combines the company's existing technology for creating wireless fences and tracking a dog's location with an aesthetic that appeals to owners who spend considerable time in natural environments and don't want to forego style. The new Halo Collar 5 features the Realtree EDGE camouflage pattern. The GPS dog collar itself is designed to allow for real-time tracking without compromising signal strength — even in areas with dense tree cover or challenging terrain — using a combination of GPS and other location technologies. The Halo Collar 5 operates through a connected application that enables users to set up and modify virtual boundaries for their dogs, and it includes a training component developed with the input of dog behaviorist Cesar Millan, which relies on gradual and customizable cues such as sounds and vibrations.
